The Prospective Marriage Visa (Subclass 300), also known as the Fiancé Visa Australia, is designed for individuals who are engaged to marry an Australian citizen, permanent resident, or eligible New Zealand citizen. If you’re planning to tie the knot in Australia, this is your path to doing so legally — and building your life together right here.
At IME Advisors, our experienced Subclass 300 Advisor Sydney team guides you and your partner through every stage of the process, from application to marriage to transitioning into a Partner Visa.

Dreaming of your wedding and life together in Australia? Let us help make it official – with legal precision and heartfelt care.

What is the Subclass 300 Visa?

The Subclass 300 Prospective Marriage Visa allows individuals outside Australia to enter the country for up to 9 months for the purpose of marrying their sponsoring partner.
Once married, you’ll be eligible to apply for the onshore Partner Visa (Subclass 820/801) to gain permanent residency.

This visa is ideal for:

Couples in long-distance engagements

De facto partners unable to meet 12-month cohabitation requirements

Relationships that are genuine but not yet formalised through marriage

Who Can Apply for a Fiancé Visa?

To qualify for the Subclass 300 visa, you must:

✔ Be outside Australia when you apply and when the visa is granted

✔ Intend to marry your sponsoring partner within the 9-month visa period

✔ Prove your relationship is genuine and committed

✔ Have physically met your partner in person at least once

✔ Meet health and character requirements

✔ Be sponsored by an eligible Australian citizen, PR, or NZ citizen
